I don't like the idea of the Niagara simply being a costume, or a configuration, however; this wouldn't stop cryptic from offering the Niagara as a variation despite the fact that the ships are different in sizes.

Um the Niagara is an Ambassador with an extra nacelle and pylon, how is it a different size?

Are these "canon"? I'm not sure. But I do believe there is a difference in size between the two ship classes.

No those are not canon illustrations.

But the size discrepancies may come from the fact that the Niagara model was kitbashed from two different scales, the secondary hull was cast from the mold used for the 3 foot Enterprise-C model while the Nacelles were cast from the mold used for the 2 foot Enterprise-D model.

My Romulan Liberated Borg character made it to Level 30 and beat the (old) Defense of New Romulus with the skill point bug.

To answer a poster's question: 'Cos I pulled this from one of my old play by forum sites, and finding Niagara statistics that detailed is really hard to come by, for RP purposes anyway.

However, there is a size difference as pointed out and it can be found on Ex Astris Scientia.

*cough*

Now then. I would be okay with a skin.

So long as the Niagara was available, I'd be quite alright with that. Since I think if we get it, it's more than likely how we'll get it.

But, it'd be odd wouldn't it? Most skins are just simple variations. This one would have a third nacelle. Not even the Cheyenne's alternatives came without their four nacelles. [I don't think, correct me though, I've never had one in-game].

The size isn't a problem, the size variation in the Niagara compared with the Ambassador, is in the saucer, the Imperial Class is at least 10 metres shorter than all the other Sovrine variants.
